2024, wrapped

I dissent with Spofify.

I disagree with my 2024 Spotify Wrapped. I also refuse to capitulate to their algorithm. Hence, here are my notable track picks for 2024. They’ve accompanied me from the writing of my undergraduate thesis to my daily grind in the law school. This is, of course, in no particular order.

Top 10

Again, in no particular order.

Burgis by Hev Abi & Flow G

Poetic: Malandi, matamis sa litrato/Bulaklak sa sapin paghiga mo/Magsunog kang magkano mang gusto/Para lang sa suot mo buong maghapon.

Apple by Charli xcx

Because, Brat summer.

pati ng ulan by jikamarie

I got hooked by this song’s music video. Watch it here.

lanamantayo by Kenaniah

It reminds me of late 90’s to early 00’s vibe–when Eraserheads was at its peak and others were following their footsteps.

Tequila Rose by HELLMERRY & Al James

Explicit. But catchy.

Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan

According to Vyan: He (me) wants to be a white lesbian.

Gupit by The Juans & Alamat

I’ve been a The Juans listener since the prepandemic. Their collab with Alamat brought the music to new heights.

I Feel Good by BINI

OrSem!

Di Na Babalik by Leanne & Naara

Must watch: Replacing Chef Chico. It’s on Netflix.

My Way by KATSEYE

They had a Manila tour, and I tried listening to them. They did not disappoint. One of KATSEYE’s members, Sophia Laforteza, also watched 9Works’s “Once on This Island” in the same schedule as mine!
